Comparative regulatory genomics
We study the evolution of cell type programs and associated genome regulation (transcription factors, histone…
The Vervoort Team has just published a new paper in JEZ-B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution:
On the hormonal control of posterior regeneration in the annelid Platynereis dumerilii
Abstract
Regeneration is the process by which many animals are able to restore lost or injured body parts. After amputation of the posterior part of its body, the annelid Platynereis dumerilii is…
The Greenberg Lab is recruiting!
Place: Institut Jacques Monod, Paris 13th district
Duration: Full time, one year
Start of contract: February 1, 2023
During early mammalian development, the DNA methylation landscape is profoundly
remodeled. The candidate will use molecular biology and embryonic cell culture to
help us explore non-conventional ways that DNA methylation can impact gene
regulation and genome organization during this…
The Ladoux/Mège Team has just published a new paper in Nature Physics:
Mechanical stress driven by rigidity sensing governs epithelial stability
Abstract:
Epithelia act as barriers against environmental stresses. They are continuously exposed to various mechanical stress and abrasion, which impact epithelial integrity. The impact of the environment on epithelial integrity remains elusive. By culturing epithelial…
Co-leader of the "Regulation of actin assembly dynamics" team, Antoine JEGOU, CNRS Research Director at the Institut Jacques Monod, has just received the Impulscience 2022 prize awarded by the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation.
The Impulscience Prize
Since this year, the Bettencourt Schueller Foundation has been offering a new programme to support the great French talents in life sciences…
The Minc Team has just published a new review in Journal of Cell Science :
Mechanobiology of the cell wall – insights from tip-growing plant and fungal cells
ABSTRACT
The cell wall (CW) is a thin and rigid layer encasing the membrane of all plant and fungal cells. It ensures mechanical integrity by bearing mechanical stresses…
The Veitia team has just published a new paper in Clinical Genetics:
Recurrent missense variants in clonal hematopoiesis-related genes present in the general population
Abstract
Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) consists in an abnormal expansion of a hematopoietic stem cell bearing an advantageous somatic variant. A survey of known recurrent somatic missense variants in DNMT3A, SF3B1, SRSF2 and TP53, some of the…
Priscillia Lhoumaud, a research fellow at the Institut Jacques Monod in the "Chromatin Dynamics in Mammalian Development" team led by Maxim Greenberg, was awarded the Georges Brahms Prize of the CNRS Foundation by Antoine Petit, CEO of the CNRS, on 16 November!
Priscillia Lhoumaud obtained her PhD in 2014 at the Laboratoire de Biologie Moléculaire Eucaryote…
The Institut Jacques Monod will celebrate on 29 November the 40th anniversary of its nomination in honour of Jacques Monod.
Founded in 1966 by Jacques Monod and François Jacob as the Institut de Biologie Moléculaire, François Chapeville, then director, proposed in 1982 to rename it the Institut Jacques Monod. This prestigious filiation makes the Institute a…
Richard Dorell (Institut de Biologie de l’Ecole Normale Supérieure (IBENS) will give on November 25th a seminar entitled:
Towards a Horizontal View of Algal Evolution
Research interests
Horizontal evolution of microalgae in the global ocean
“Life did not take over the world by combat, but by networking”- Lynn Margulis The most dramatic evolutionary transition across the tree of…
